ive known him for ages and we get on so wel...anyways like i said help! lol

Ah, shy around girls. That's endearing. Yes it's likely that he doesn't know how to act around girls and therefore treats them as playfully as boys, *praying* that you'll somehow find it sexy. Unfortunately after the age of 18 this rarely works (well, in my opinion).

But luckily for him you find something intriguing in him. So what are you asking exactly, OP? It's pretty much obvious he likes you.

Yeah if he acts a bit more anxious around you. If he talks more, probably says more stupid things than he normally would with his mates. At the beginning men tend to be very socially awkward with girls. You start to develop a nack for it once you get a bit of experience, but since he has non. There you go. If he does act anxious and talk alot etc, maybe you can try asking him out. that type of behaviour indicates hes very insecure and too afraid to ask you out because he might be rejected. So you take the first step. Plus guys find it sexy when girls take the first step. At least i do :P ( it shows they know what they want.. as opposed to some girls always wanting the opposite of what they have which is a turnoff )
